became violently insane and was transferred
to the Insane Hospital, where he has since
remained, having entirely recovered his rea-
son. The prisoner was exhibited Def re the
board and made very good appearance.
DR.. Ssnborn testified to his sanity. 1t was
held that Martin was insane when the crime

are in the State Prison for burglary in Sher-
man.
The council adjourned yesterday and their
next meeting will be June 2Sth, when they
give hearing to the petitioners for the par
don of Lewis + Hopkins, who killed Indian
Joe at Richmond in 1888, and is serving q
sentence in State Prison for manslaughter.
Yesterday the Governor and Council de
parted for the Stste Prison, going to Port
land by rail, and thence by steamer to Thons-
aston, arriving there this morning. The
object of their visit is to see what sction can
be taken looking 10 the division of the en-
Payments in the prison workshop. The last
legislature, it will he remembered, passed a
law that not more than twenty per cent. OF
the men should be employed at any one
trade. An inventor called at the council
chamber yesterday and exhibited patent
hinge for trunks. As there is some prospect
that the trunks may be manufactured at the
prison, at the request of the man sample OF
the hinge was forwarded to Thomaston.
Capt. Chas o. Merrill, Portland, has been
nominated by the Governor as harbor CON-
missioner.
